Sanilac County Historical Society
“VOLUNTEERS AREN’T PAID,
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORTHLESS,
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE PRICELESS!”
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our society. Without
them, nothing good happens. We want to encourage more volunteers
and make it a better, more meaningful experience. The education
committee has developed a series of 3 programs to assist in this by providing
information as well as seeking suggestions and input in ways to do an even
better job of fulfilling our mission. Whether you’ve
volunteered for years or have yet to try it, we think these programs will be
well worth your time whether you attend one, two or all three.
Each session will include a general session, informational sessions on
different buildings and artifacts plus lunch with questions and answers.
You’ll get a tour including places the public doesn’t see, an opportunity
to ask questions and make suggestions plus socialize over lunch.
Our board feels you are so important they are providing this at no
cost. Classes are limited to 20 people each and preregistration is
required. All classes are on Saturdays from 9am to noon at the
Historic Village and are open to members and non-members. Here is
